Subscribe/Renew Journal
This pilot study investigated the effect of rehearsal digit span WM training on Sensory processing disorder (SPD). Twenty children's with autism (6-9 years) were participated. The experimental group received combination modalities of rehearsal digit span WM training to SPD, while the control group did not receive. The duration of training was one hour, twice per day for ten sessions. The finding indicate that rehearsal digit Span WM intervention has significant changes in the auditory filtering and no changes in tactile sensitivity, movement sensitivity, low energy, visual/auditory sensitivity taste/smell sensitivity, seeks sensation and total score, since training was not conducted with controls.
